Adios Antigua

Early this morning about 2:00 am we arrived in Minneapolis, MN.  We had a wonderful time in Antigua, Guatemala learning Spanish and making new friends.  We are  so grateful to our teachers and everyone at La Union for helping us learn Spanish... your job was not easy.  We never imagined how precious our time in Guatemala would be.  Thanks to everyone!

We will be here in Minnesota until Christmas.  After that we are off to Tennessee to visit with the Amy Family and finally to Arkansas for a few days.  We are so excited to be home for a while and hope that we will get to see all of you soon!

Mayan Ruins of Copan

This weekend we were able to go to Copan, Honduras with our school to see the Mayan Ruins. It was really incredible! This is our attempt at a mini-tour for you.

This is where the royal or rich people lived.

This was an altar for sacrificing jaguars.

This is where they played games. Whoever was voted the best player had the honor of being sacrificed to the gods.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas... Everywhere we go

Everywhere we go is a reminder that Christmas is near which means we are coming back to the States in ONE WEEK!!!! Needless to say we are extremely excited. We even helped decorate the guest house where we live. Here are a couple photos of Guatemala's version of Christmas.
